i decided to try making freezer jam this year... basically because it was on this website
and they always explain things like it is the easiest thing in the world. Well, jam IS the easiest thing in the world, and it is WORTH IT to do it at home. For real.
my sophmore year in college my roommate, callie, always had homemade jam. And I begged her for it ALL the time because it was the first time I'd ever HAD homemade jam and it was unbelievable.
Fastforward to last christmas, when my best friend, Megan, gave me homemade jam because she saw that we were actually buying jam over at my house and she was APPALLED. :)
Well, I'm appalled too, because now that I've made it, and we only have 1.5 containers left (eeek!) and its time to make more already. Seriously. Make yourself some today. It is TOO easy to put off. Especially when you can get strawberries for very very little right now!

my friends in elementary school always thought it was so strange that my sandwiches had BRIGHT RED jam on them... i would tell them it's because my mom made it and of course they were astounded that you could MAKE jam, and it didn't just grow in the container :) i bought strawberries last week to make jam and of course put it off for too long so they went moldy and got sent out with the trash this morning. at least some of them went into my cereal and ice cream bowls. will have to go back for more!
I am SO glad I could help you see how easy it is to make it because you know if I can do it then it has to be super easy! :) I am glad you guys are enjoying the homemade jam at your house. Yum yum. It's the BEST! Love you! :)
